DAP calls for a Royal Commission of Inquiry if the Attorney-General Chambers(AGC) refuses to answer implicit allegations of racist bias and even selective prosecution by former Transport Minister and ex-MCA President Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik over the RM12.85 billion Port Klang Free Trade Zone(PKFZ) scandal. These implicit allegations were made to a Chinese newspaper where Liong Sik accused AGC of looking down and disrespecting the country’s Chinese leaders who have contributed to the country.

Ling was acquitted of deceiving the Cabinet by failing to disclose an additional interest rate of 7.5% to the purchase price of RM 25 per sq ft in the PKFZ deal, despite knowing that the interest rate was included in the price. Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad testified in court that he had not been cheated by Ling.

Ling Liong Sik claimed that he was wrongly prosecuted even though he has done nothing wrong. He further made the shocking claim that AGC only started gathering evidence after charging him to court, instead of the other way round, and did not even record former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s statement beforehand.

Does Ling’s implicit allegations of racial bias and selective prosecution mean that the AGC could have charged other personalities involved in the PKFZ scandal? These are serious allegations by Ling that needs to be fully addressed by AGC, especially with the withdrawal of cheating charges against another former Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy over this scandal.

Isn’t it ridiculous that with potential losses of RM 12.85 billion to 28 million Malaysians, there are no wrongdoers but many who profit from the PKFZ scandal at the expense of the people. Where is the crediblity and integrity of the administration of justice by the AGC when there is no one to be punished?

The AGC must also explain why threats made against BN leaders are immediately acted upon with arrests and charged in court, but not when threats are made against a Chinese Chief Minister. I have made so many reports of threats to kill me and even followed police advice to lodge police reports over false allegations by UMNO against my underaged son that he molested his female classmate, but no action has been taken. Can the AGC why there is immediate action on threats made against Malay BN Prime Ministers or Menteri Besars but none on threats against a PR Chinese Chief Minister or my family?
